Disappear

Where do you hide when there's nowhere left to run?My life was an illusion built on fear, until one day, fate intervened. I tried to run. I tried to hide. I tried to disappear. At a small bed and breakfast in the middle of nowhere, I found myself, and then, he found me... Gus Gallagher, my aunt's next-door neighbor. He was persistent. He was everything I feared and everything I wanted. He was determined to win me over, but I was determined to drive him away.
The possibility of more could never become a reality, not with him. Soon though, I learned he was everything I needed. The life I live now is an illusion based on deception. This time though, the lies I tell are my own. I knew eventually I'd get caught in my own web of deceit, but this wasn't my choice. In the shadows the past is lurking; patiently waiting and set on revenge. My life was unbearable until the day I decided to disappear.
My name is Laney Sloane and this is my story.
